Posobiec & Bannon Doubling Down on Russian Disinformation: Don’t Believe Me Hyperlinked Receipts | 👇 Jack Posobiec and Steve Bannon are actively pushing a Russian disinformation campaign why? ‘NO GAIN OF FUNCTION’ What the Slides Actually Show (Relevant to Pathogen Research): The slides focus on the U.S. Department of Defense’s Biological Threat Reduction Program (BTRP) support for labs (primarily in Ukraine — over 40 facilities mentioned), including: • Construction, funding, and equipping of labs (specific costs and contractors like Black & Veatch are listed). • Storage and handling of Especially Dangerous Pathogens (EDP) and Soviet-era biological weapons-related pathogens. • Training of Ukrainian scientists in biocontainment. • U.S. payments to Ukrainian scientists “to study the genome of highly pathogenic avian flu and other highly infectious viruses in biocontainment labs, which were also paid for by the U.S. government.” Pathogens explicitly referenced in the slides include: Anthrax, tularemia, tuberculosis, Swine Fever, Newcastle Disease, MERS, SARS, Marburg, Ebola, Lassa, Plague, Rickettsia, and highly pathogenic avian flu. dni.gov These genome studies of highly pathogenic viruses in U.S.-funded biocontainment labs are the closest content in the document to areas sometimes discussed in GoF debates, but the slides present them in the context of threat reduction, biosecurity, and pathogen characterization rather than explicit gain-of-function work. Russian Disinformation on U.S.-Supported Biolabs in Ukraine: Receipts & Links Below! Posobiec/Bannon are actively pushing a Russian disinformation campaign along with Tulsi Gabbard but why? Russia has a long history of conducting disinformation campaigns via false allegations of biological weapons activities by the United States: The Soviet Union deliberately spread false accusations that the United States had used biological weapons during the Cold War. Such accusations have continued in modern times under Russian President Putin to erode trust in the United States, weaken U.S. relations with partner countries, and to divert attention away from illicit Russian activities such as its use of chemical weapons in Salisbury and against Alexei Navalny. Ukraine’s long-term cooperation with the United States to enhance biological research facilities is a key element of this disinformation. The United States cooperates with labs and health centers across the world in countries through the Biological Threat Reduction Program. This defense program is crucial for reducing threats from natural or accidental outbreaks and the potential use of biological weapons. The United States does not operate, fund, nor in any way support biological or chemical weapons activities in Ukraine: The United States has, and continues to be, in full compliance of its obligations under both the Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention. Ukraine does not have biological or chemical weapons. Ukraine has long been a staunch champion for non-proliferation. Ukrainian biological research facilities are part of this legacy. They were designed to consolidate naturally-arising dangerous pathogen samples to secure locations to avoid them being weaponized or accidentally released—NOT GAIN OF FUNCTION. They enhance Ukraine’s ability to detect and track diseases and peacefully guard against the full range of biological threats. Russia has increased its disinformation which falsely claims that Ukraine may have biological and chemical weapons. This effort from the Russian government, along with support from the Chinese government, is intended to erode trust in the United States and sow doubt in the international community, and may be part of plans for Russian biological or chemical weapons attacks in Ukraine via a false-flag operation.

The confetti had barely settled in San Antonio when the full weight of the moment hit me. After 53 years — the longest championship drought in NBA history — the New York Knicks are champions once again. Jalen Brunson stood on the podium as Finals MVP, Larry O’Brien Trophy in hand, while the entire city turned orange and blue. For most fans this is pure celebration. For me, it runs much deeper. This championship feels like the convergence of every chapter of my life. This isn’t just a title. It’s validation for a lifetime spent believing — in the Knicks, in basketball, and in the idea that staying true to your passion eventually gets rewarded. My story with the Knicks began in the 1990s at SUNY Purchase. I wasn’t media or connected — just a kid with a notebook standing outside the gym in rain, snow, or cold, waiting for glimpses of Patrick Ewing. John Starks would occasionally stop. Oakley and Mason carried that unmistakable New York toughness. Those moments taught me what Knicks basketball was supposed to be: toughness, accountability, resilience, and pride. What I didn’t know then was that basketball would become a bridge to lifelong friendships, mentors, opportunities, and real human connection. That passion led me to launch TheKnicksBlog.com in the late 2000s during one of the darkest eras. Bad contracts, losing seasons, dysfunction. But I kept writing — studying film, roster construction, and the game beneath the surface long before analytics were mainstream. The blog became a community for fans who wanted substance. Those grind years opened doors at SNY and eventually led to an Emmy. The award mattered, but the real prize was always the people: readers, colleagues, and friendships built along the way. Scouting took me to Portsmouth Invitational Tournament and adidas Eurocamp in Treviso, Italy. I learned that talent is only part of it — character, work ethic, basketball IQ, and adaptability matter more. Past behavior really is the best predictor of future performance. Those lessons are written all over this 2026 championship roster. Life came full circle when the players I once waited for as a kid became golf buddies. No status, no fame — just two people talking life, legacy, and perspective. Those heroes became friends and mentors. All of it shaped my philosophy at @NBA_Scout_AI: Film first. Data second. Context always. Character, culture, relationships, and truth above all. The 2026 season felt different. Under Mike Brown we built real identity — elite defense, unselfish offense, relentless effort, accountability. The playoffs tested us repeatedly, but we answered every time. Game 5 in San Antonio became legendary. Brunson dropped 45 points with total command. Towns maximized in the right system. Anunoby & Bridges locked down the perimeter. Josh Hart brought the heart and hustle we’ve always loved. This wasn’t won by one star — it was won by culture. For fans of my generation, this heals decades of pain: 1994, 1999, lottery years, false starts, endless rebuilds. I lived and chronicled all of it. Now I get to celebrate the payoff. This victory brought every version of myself together — the kid at SUNY Purchase, the blogger in the dark years, the Emmy-winning journalist, the scout filling notebooks overseas, the golfer sharing stories with legends, the husband, father, and friend. What makes this so meaningful isn’t just the trophy. It’s the people: family who supported the obsession, friends who debated every move, readers who became companions, and players who became teachers. To every one of you who followed TheKnicksBlog.com, joined the conversations, or rode with me across the years — thank you. This moment belongs to all of us. The parade down the Canyon of Heroes, the banner raising at the Garden, the ring ceremony… they’ll be unforgettable. But the greatest reward is the journey and the incredible people it brought into my life. From SUNY Purchase to Madison Square Garden. From heartbreak to championship. The New York Knicks are NBA Champions. The drought is over. A new legacy begins. And for those of us who never stopped believing — the journey was worth every single second. Thanks for riding. What a sidehustle. LFG🏆🗽💙🧡 — TD (@NBA_Scout_AI | TKB) 2026 Forever
